Here is a link to my build article of the Roden Albatros D.I in 1:32nd scale for Internet Modeler. I enjoyed the build and will post some more pictures to this thread soon. By the way due to my inexperience with Internet Modelers self submission tool the thumb nails are not working. So for now just crank up your magnification on your screen

OOps, the link isn't working! Back to the drawing board.

Edit - it should be now - Rowan.

The thumbnails have been fixed in the IM article so I have removed the pics that were featured in IM.

Hi Rick

Your link is fixed and the build looks superb!

I don't want to tread on the toes of our friends at Internet Modeller (a great site and the principal reason I latched onto modelling on the web in the first place), but maybe you could do us a selection of alternative pics for an On Display?

All the best

Very fine build. Particularly I like the wooden treatment on the fuselage. It is hard to 'pick out' something, though, because I think the handling of the color and markings, rigging, etc....all very good. Very nice. Thanks for the pictures, Matt
